Great Strides Accomplished

This Morning under pretty warm & clouded skies I set off at 9:20am to begin my Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser walk, from Henley Jetty to Grange Jetty & back. I walked it alone, apart from the thousands of flies that lined the route to escort me along the 3.6 Kilometre journey. My wife Kaye escorted me back over the last 200 metres to take some memorable digital pictures & video footage to record the feat of walking this years event after attending it last year in my wheelchair. A huge thank you to those of you who sponsored me to allow me to raise funds for CF in taking on this challenge. Later in the day I was asked to be photographed with some volunteers from LJ Hooker for the Advertiser & then some photo's were taken with Kaye & I together on the jetty. I currently await a phone call interview to go with the photographs.

A huge Congratulations to Mark Wellington and Richard Drogemuller for successfully completing their amazing bike trek from Mt Kosciuszko to Lake Eyre yesterday & celebrated this incredible feat by sharing a beer on Lake Eyre. What a tremendous effort guys and on behalf of all of us with Cystifibrosis we thank you for your time, effort, guts & determination in order for you to be successful with this challenge. We are all forever grateful to you both. We look forward to possibly a book coming out of this adventure maybe? Also good Luck to Richard when he returns back to work at Pulteney grammar this Monday.

Annual 65 Roses Cystic Fibrosis Ball

Last nights Cystic Fibrosis 65 Roses Ball was a resounding success. It was attended by nearly 400 people at The Adelaide Convention Centre. Just prior to the main on stage auction, I was interviewed on the stage.  The aim was to predominantly hear about my life story, coping & growing up with Cystic Fibrosis. Due to feedback from one CF parent Brad’s comment that “CF parents are the unsung heroes of the CF Community” had her in tears. Prior to the interview the MC, former south Australian & Australian wicket keeper Wayne Phillips, requested to meet me. During this conversation I gave Wayne one of his Taylor Made Inspirations business cards & filled him in on my speaking career. As a result during the on stage interview Wayne brought to the attention of the corporate’s in the audience Brad’s speaking business & mentioned his believeyourdream website. It certainly was a successful fundraising night as the on stage auction items went for approximately $20,000.

 

So after another great 65 Roses CF Ball: wining, dining & dancing, my wife, Kaye, and I are already planning to attend next year.  Hopefully some of you can join us?

 

WELL DONE & CONGRATULATIONS CYSTIC FIBROSIS SOUTH AUSTRALIA ON ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL 65 ROSES FUNDRAISING BALL.
